Application filed July 30,

This invention relates to toilet articles and the method of making same, and has special reference to a nail polishing clothj The principal object of the invention is a to provide a convenient device for use in polishing the finger nails.

which is thoroughly impregnated with the polishing material, combinin erefined marl in powder form, mortar coloring also in powder form, and glycerine. r

The process employed in impregnating the cloth is to first thoroughly saturate the dry cloth with the mixture of powdered marl and mortar coloring, then applying a liquid solution of the marl, mortar coloring, and glycerine to either side thereof, when the cloth being the mixture is passed several times between rubber rollers under pressure so as' to thor-v oughly force all of the impre thus saturated and covered with a material possible L 1924.

After this preparation, the cloth is ready for use and will retain its detergent or pollshmg properties almost indefinitely, or at 40 least so long as any of the properties'of the glycerine remain with the cloth.
